The EG8200 Mini-CNC Gateway for CNC data acquisition is published. With this gateway, engineers can easily collect various data, such as device status, work mode, alarm message, boot time, elapsed time, etc., from the machine. This is very meaningful to maintain the normal operating condition of the CNC machine.
Background of the product development
As a “Specialized, Specialized and New” enterprise in the field of industrial data acquisition, IOTRouter understands that there are significant differences in equipment, interfaces, and protocols in different industries, and that data acquisition needs are therefore unique. After years of unremitting efforts, we continue to dig deep into the industry protocols and comprehensive optimization, and proudly launched the EG8200 series of industry gateways. This series of products focuses on the docking of industry protocols and strives to accurately match with common industrial equipment and protocols on the market, thus significantly improving the adaptability and stability of industrial data collection.
In the pursuit of excellence, we have never been afraid of any challenges. Despite the high cost of acquiring resources for certain industrial protocols and the long development cycle, we have always been steadfast in our commitment to building a data acquisition gateway that can cover all scenarios. We know that this is not only a severe test of our technical strength, but also a firm commitment to our customers.
Main feacture of the CNC gateway
First of all, this gateway is embedded Node-RED visual programming with some built-in processing for CNC. So it’s easy to get started, no need to reconfigure the system, no point tables, no authorization required!
Secondly, this new kind of edge computing gateway is designed for CNC equipment, supporting multiple network types such as Enthnet, Wifi, and 4G. So user can choose the right way to connect the network.
If optimal communication is desired, and the space can support easy cabling, then it is wise to choose Ethernet. If wiring is less convenient and the devices are at a good distance from each other with no obvious obstructions, then wifi is a good choice. If the devices are farther apart and there are obstructions in between, then 4G is the way to go for optimal communication.
Thirdly, this CNC acuisition gateway can support various mainstream CNC machina, such as SIEMENS, MELSEC, Mazak, Heidenhain, Haas, Knd, LNC, SYNTEC, Fanus, Brother, GSK, Fagor, and so on. Users no longer have to worry about capturing different brands of CNC equipments. This is important for the unified management of equipment and reduces system integration costs.
Fourthly, this CNC gateway is very stable. It can automatically reconnect in case of a bad network，and thanks to its timing database with caching capabilities, data and instructions are not lost during network fluctuations. Intelligently switches to backup to ensure that the device is always online.
Not only the stable in network, but also in the product quality. The gateway is QMS Certification/Inspection Report/EU/CE certified with industrial grade quality and is capable of operating in temperatures ranging from -40° to +85°. The device is also installed with a dual watchdog program that is able to automatically reboot and protect the device in extreme situations.
Finally, user can use it to remote manage the CNC equipment on site. With EGManager remote management software, it can realize remote configurationremote debugging, remote diagnosis, remote program update and other functions for the equipment. This reduces O&M costs and allows engineers to operate at any time, whether at home or outdoors.
IOTRouter combines traditional industry infrastructure with IoT, edge computing, AI and other new technologies to provide industry digital transformation integrators with informationization and digitalization convergence products and solutions such as Edge Gateway, IOT Data Center, HMI, Remote IO, AI Edge Box, and other products and solutions to improve efficiency, reduce costs, optimize processes, and promote industry digital transformation.
